I feel Trans Joy when I take action to help defeat Anti-LGBTQIA+ politicians — The anti-trans GOP fascists in the Montana House of Representatives are trying to silence Zooey Zephyr, who represents Montana’s 100th House district.

My state representative and senator both signed on as cosponsors of anti-trans bills.

My state representative and senator both signed on as cosponsors of anti-trans bills.

The state government is unresponsive, broken, and captured by hate.
